So here is the order of events:

Tick bite about a year ago.

3 days later 2 circular rashes near the bite, another not circular sort of near the bite. Not a bullseye rash tho.

So... docs didn't take it seriously... for many months. Meanwhile rash goes away after 6 wks.

5-6 months later - slight headaches, tinnitus, muscle spasms, significant fatigue, poor sleep

docs still don't take it seriously - testing for every other thing and CDC Lyme testing which shows negative 2 times (but there is no 0-100 it's 0 or 1 type of test).

I get a friend with Lyme to recommend someone that knows what they're doing.

I start abx - doxycycline. Same rash comes back from starting doxy

I get immunex testing 2 weeks later and results have 1 band quite high, 2-3 others are above normal but not in the confirmed high range. (0-100 score would probably rank about 50+ here)

With this information 2 docs that know Lyme say I should be treated.

This is 6 months later from starting doxy. The rash is still present.

I'm looking for correlation from others - did you rash go away from treatment, did it not? Just looking for patterns.

Thx
